As Dhaka chokes in traffic amid demos, public attention turns to 'inefficient' traffic cops

A student, while managing traffic at the entrance of Dhaka University area on Friday, holds a placard that reads ‘ambulance lane’, indicating to passing vehicles that the lane is only for emergency use – a concept which has been absent in Bangladesh. Students have been managing traffic on the roads after the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government on 5 August. However, the DMP withdrew traffic police from the capital on 3 August to ensure their safety during the recent violent protests. Photo: Rajib Dhar/TBS
